The last commercial flight of the Concorde (BA) will take place
tomorrow when bird returns to England from the US.

Lets all have a moment of silence for the passing of an era.

Absolutely.

A sad day indeed.

At the risk of being premature...

I cant help but wonder what comes after Concorde. Is that really it for
civilian supersonic travel? Surely all those in the fortunate position of
being able to afford it will still want/need a 3hr flight across the
Atlantic.

So does anyone know if there are any serious proposals for developing a
replacement or will they just wait for a civilian low orbit space shuttle??

Oops sorry you did request a moment of silence.

OK....
